Starting with 21 Class of abnut sixty students in the first year we have dwindled down this year to thirty-five.

Accounting IV OME Clever paragrapher has seen the usay-it-wittvflowers , Hsay-it-with- candy , and say-itm'ithmeni'ly-anything-hannly and calls thing's tn :1 halt with the suggestion that we 3m back to saying: it with words . But we want to add that if you want to say anything: about the history of Accounting: IV, the words to use are AMBITION, PERSEVERANCE, ENTHUSIASM and ACTION. With the realization that undeveloped talent, like uncultivated fields, yields nothing, we started four years 21:10 to cultivate those idle acres of our ability Thus, we use the word AMBITION. We began with faith plus the courage, hope and belief in the things we undertook to do. During Freshman year we learned the only way to win, is to commence to win from the start and then tn keep vvei'lastingly at it. It is true this is hard to do at times, but the man who duos nut meet obstacles. is the man who stands still. Is this not PERSEVERANCE? It was just this sincerity of purpose, this will power and determinatinn which asserted itself by keeping our number practically intact fur the Sopho- more year. We reached the noontide of our college career eager to take a new grip on our educational efforts and hold tightly through the Junior and Senior years. This confidence in action represented nothing other than our ENTHU- SIASM. When the last word is said, however, no matter how ambitious, persevering and enthusiastic a class may be, these qualifications are of no avail, if they are not. backed by ACTIONilnts 0f ACTION; the kind of action that stamps a Class as a leader. In this, we believe, we have alccnmplished our purpose. The activi- ties of the Senior class have embraced the intellectual as well as the social phase of school life. We have contributed at all times to the progress of the student organization, the co-operators, and we are happy to say that our efforts have re- sulted in the attainment of unsurpassed success. Truly our class has been a whirlwind in ACTION. We hope now to be conquerors in new fields. We have observed the little margins on which conquerors win. They are usually but a shade better than those the losers put forth. The failures do not have the little reserve to supply the small margin necessary to win. Today thousands are in a neck and neck race to the City of Success. Thanks to the untii'ing eEtarts 0f the faculty, we have succeeded in building up this reserve. The emergency may come tomorrow, but we are ready to win with that little, but mighty important margin. Page St-vany-ninn
